How Cowboys could exchange for Trey Hendrickson or Myles Garrett to associate with Micah Parsons

Dallas’ cowboys now have the cap space to do something incredible. The owner and managing director Jerry Jones may have launched a wet coverage on hopes and dreams of the fans base with his recent comments The club does not want to use the free agency to fill the gaps. But the former risk lessee has not excluded another talent acquisition avenue: the commercial market.

In two fast movements, cowboys have created more than $ 54 million in the 2025 ceiling space by restructuring the quarter -precott and Wideout Ceeedee Lamb chords. This gives the club all the flexibility it needs to sign several players to long -term agreements with short strokes of first -year ceiling, to sign rent players with significant figures of one year or an exchange for veterans with large basic wages in 2025. AFC North has two intriguing possibilities in this category in this category in this category in this category in Cleveland Browns Of Myles Garrett and Cincinnati Bengals of Trey Hendrickson.

But the Dallas Cowboys Have already Micah Parsons, KD!

Associate another edge of the elite with Micah Parsons

Yes, cowboys have an elite advantage, they are about to pay an exorbitant amount, but follow the logic. Parsons was twinned with Demarcus Lawrence all his career. Lawrence is a single on-board setter that also has a solid capacity of Pass-Rush. Dallas had never had an elite rusher in front of parsons. With Matt Eberflus taking over as a defensive coordinator and his propensity to depend on the four fronts to generate pass pass rather than blitzers, it would be ideal for cowboys to have terror terrorists threatening each advantage on a game base.

And with Osa Odighizuwa which continues to grow inside the defensive line, it becomes more and more attractive so that Dallas sorts out and seizes a proven rusher to associate with record parsons.

Last week, the Bengals As much Hendrickson, who led the NFL in bags last season with 17.5 withdrawals, to look for a profession. Garrett repeatedly informed the Browns that he does not return to Cleveland in 2025.

So what should Cowboys be needed either?

How to acquire Trey Hendrickson

Hendrickson stayed one year on his current agreement and wants a new one. Bengals added a year from 2025 to his agreement in 2023 to give him a signature bonus, but man wants to be paid at the top of the market figures, which Cincinnati is not willing to do. He is expected to earn $ 15.8 million in salary this coming season.

The trade for Hendrickson would not require a new agreement, but that is the wait. Spotrac, which tends to be slightly high on their market assessments, thinks that Extension of $ 59 million over two years would be in the satisfactory game stadium. Cowboys could give it a signing bonus of $ 18 million, reduce its base salary to $ 1.3 million and eat a ceiling of $ 7.3 million in 2024. Its wages in 2026 and 2027 would be 20 million dollars and $ 21 million respectively.

As for the remuneration of the trade, Dallas could make an exchange of choice of first round (their n ° 12 for the n ° 17 of Cincinnati) which is worth a third round, and add their third round and one of their four fifths. Another possibility is to see if Cincinnati is interested in Marshawn Kneeland to replace Hendrickson, and send it with a second round choice in 2026.

How to acquire Myles Garrett

Acquisition Garrett is a little more complicatedBecause the Browns are not voluntary participants, but rather forced hands. Due to the way in which the Garrett contract is structured, an agreement probably only occurs after the project, so Cleveland could divide its dead money during the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

This being the case, the teams would exchange future assets in a project where their position is unknown. For example, Dallas has the choice n ° 12 every round this year; But who knows where the choices of next year will land.

Cowboys should probably return their first 2026 and 2027 rounds, as well as Marshawn Kneeland and another second round choice.

Garrett, 29, is considered a player more useful than Hendrickson due to the age difference of two years and the longer CV of great game. He is six times All-Pro (4x first team) against one for Hendrickson. Although he has two years left on his current agreement, he will always need a redesign and will be high -end instead of the top five. The cowboys would literally pay the first two wages to the most expensive QB position in the league.

Adding two years to Garrett’s agreement, as well as a few vacuum seasons to spread the first caps with a cap would be the way to follow.

Dallas could give Garrett for an additional two years for an additional $ 99 million in addition to the $ 45 million he has already had in wages and bonuses for 2025 and 2026. This total value of $ 144 million over four years would allow him to be ahead of 35.5 million dollars in Maxx Crosby. If 35 million dollars were in a signature bonus, cowboys could add it for around 8.5 million dollars in 2025 ceiling space.

The Micah Parsons contract

Whatever which of these two star players they have acquired, the cowboys should do it before extending Parsons, so that he can end up dominating the league in wages. The age of Parsons is the main factor here, because it is the long -term asset that we must keep the happiest. He said he would take less if it meant adding talent, but it could mean less than $ 40 million a year and that he would accept $ 36.5 million a year. A five -year agreement with several voids which allows it to define average, guaranteed and total value records is always achievable, even by adding one of these two rushers on board.

There would be repercussions in other positions from 2026, but this is absolutely possible to succeed.
